There were blustery west-south-west winds throughout, occasional light showers and temperatures peaked at 21 degrees C. A scattering of waders moved south during the seawatch including two Black-tailed Godwits. Twenty-three Sandwich Terns were logged, along with five Red-throated Divers and 86 Manx Shearwaters. A Little Egret flew past the Fog Station, with sightings also at Thornwick and further west – at Bempton Village Pond and Buckton Pond. A Green Sandpiper was also at the latter location.
Also on the move were 2708 Swifts heading south-west over the outer head before approaching shower cloud, with the majority of the movement concentrated between 0510-0610hrs.
Thornwick attracted two Common Sandpipers, three Little Ringed Plovers, four Dunlin and two Redshank. A juvenile Cuckoo was along the cliff top near Thornwick.
